How to Separate Yourself From The Competiton

    Competition is a fact of business life. How do we personally separate yourself from the competition? Whether we're new, a expert or something in between,

    The answer to this question about Differentiation is totally based upon your business and its competition in the marketplace. You need to research the market, your competition and take an honest assessment of your company. You then need to develop a Unique Value Proposition based upon the results of your research. Price, Value, Unique features, Customer Service, etc., etc. are the types of things that you need to consider, of course.

    Unless your products are so unique that you are the only one who can produce them, you are always in competition. Good customer service and smart use of funds always help not be left behind (for B2C at least). Th rest depends on your niche of business.

    If you are in the business industry then competition is a common thing, there is no way you can separate your business from competition.
    But I assume what you are trying to say is how you will stand out from the rest? I know it is easier said than done but if you can make yourself different/unique from the others, you'll definitely stand out. Whether it is a promotion you offer, a marketing strategy, or the product itself.

    Marketplace or Business industry you always face in competition. We can avoid that, but we can handle that smartly if we have that qualification. I believe/ follow, always try to keep my service unique and be honest. Try to give my best to my client. Main aim client sanctification

    Create your own unique product with a completely fresh twist or approach.

    Then you have NO competition!

    Yes i agree with you. Also we can take concept from other but can`t duplicate. So take concept and create unique product

    Differentiation is the way. You should decide a target to whom you sell your product, that has a different need you could satisfate. But you should analyze your competitors to make that decision! Good luck ;)

    Yes, that's right. Creating your own unique product would separate you for a moment from having a competition. But sooner or later if your product grows popular or effective others would build a similar ones. Of course not imitating your product, but would steal some of your ideas to build another product to compete to yours. So, in business its really hard to avoid competitors so better be ready to compete with them than avoid them in that way your business would grow more stable. :D
